Hi Fogdog. Good one!

No, it isn't. Both parties cater to the desires of the plutocracy very well. For instance, the recent banking 'reform' measure passed with bipartisan support and nary a whimper of dissent. Same with expanding the military budget to levels unseen in human history.
The compromise is when We, the American People on the hook for the tab for all this, come to Washington hat in hand, begging for healthcare, social security, living wages or anything else the plutocrats don't support. We're told to go get fucked.
There's your compromise.

Every nasty post you've made here in the last decade, or about 100,000 of them, give or take 10k.
Specific enough for you?

You do love me. You have a love file. All of those are responses to you claiming stuff. Didn’t you keep the rest of our conversation?
Aren’t you embarrassed this is so important to you? You really are an easy target.

Indeed, I do tend to get a bit snarky when I watch banks use tax deductible dollars to lobby to deregulate themselves, when trillion dollar fighter plane programs get approved without bothering to make sure they actually work- and then be told there's 'no money' for social programs, subsidised day care for hard working parents or universal healthcare.
Nothing personal, you understand.

She changed the words in her own posts without noting it too after the backlash she got due to the extreme racism she conveyed.

It is naive to say that Republicans are the same as Democrats and yes, results matter. Results with Democrats much better.

Pandering is not good enough, and if the Democratic party doesn't take advantage of the Trump backlash with actual progressive policy positions, they'll lose that backlash in 2022 and 2024 and another demagogue could be poised to win again. If Democrats win majorities in 2018, and they fail to pass progressive policies because of their corporate donors, there will be an inevitable backlash, just like there was in 2010 with Obama.

the backlash against obama in 2010 was because people thought he went too far with obamacare, not because they didnt think he went far enough

100% wrong
The right felt Obama went too far, the left felt betrayed, which is why a significant number of actual progressives abandoned Obama in 2012
Had the Democratic party actually supported universal healthcare, progressives would have come out to vote during the midterms to protect it
85% of Democrats support it, 51% of Republicans support it, 64% of Independents support it
